The release of the Skype iPhone application caused quite a stir as carriers around the world moved to block the application accessing its data networks. AT&T restricted Skype for iPhone to its WiFi HotSpots in the US, as did O2 in the UK. Meanwhile, T-Mobile ( Germany reportedly blocked Skype from its network entirely - no Skype for iPhone for Germany.
But, it doesn't have to be like that.
A jailbreak application, called VoIPOver3G, allows jailbroken iPhones to use VoIP applications over 3G wireless networks. You can find it in Cydia, and the install takes all of one minute. VoIPOver3G installs invisibly, much like the yellowsn0w jailbreak utility - once installed, all iPhone VoIP clients simply work over 3G. VoIPOver3G tricks your iPhone into thinking it’s on a WiFi network, allowing VoIP apps like Skype to work on AT&T's 3G network.
